Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
